how good is it when it comes to pet hair?

I bought this sweeper specifically because the pet model from Bissell was not available, and the heavy duty was backordered. We have four cats, two dogs, and sometimes have two other dogs visit for "sleepovers." This sweeper picks up pet hair quite well. Might I also add that I use the little spin-sweeper handle for our carpeted stairs, and it grabs hair well. The only issue I have ever had fighting hair has been in our car, and that is because we did not sweep out our car for a long time; this resulted in the hair's burrowing itself deep into the carpet. (Bulldog hairs have barbs on them that face the opposite direction, and they are hard to remove from car carpeting.)

Has a lot of suction. With brush off it picks up all hair and everything else.

Works great picking up dog hair off the bare floor and carpet. However, the attachments aren't as effective on my couch (our dog lays on the floor, up against the couch).

Great. After a pass or two there were nearly zero dog hair to be found on our carpet

Does a great job! I have two little dogs who get on and into everything and I have had no problem getting all the fur into the vacuum. Very powerful.

yes, it is the absolute best vacuum on the market for dog hair and believe me we have tried alot of them!

The DC33 picks up hair exceptionally well. I reside with 2 elderly people and a dog, and it seems like all of us are constantly shedding. I'm always amazed at the amount of hair I see when I empty the Dyson's dust bin. I sometimes wonder that we're not completely bald. The Dyson transitions easily - but manually - from carpets to solid floors.

I have two, short-haired tabby cats. This vacuum has done well picking up their fur off the carpets and from their favorite hanging out places. The power hand tool works okay, but is not a miracle solution. It may be that the type of upholstery that I have is harder to clean than others because it is a heavy weaver with texture. I also can't say how it would do for fur off a long-haired breed of cat or dog. You do have to wipe out the inner filter occasionally if it gets plugged up with lint or fine particles to keep the suction up, but this is so much more effective and easier to use/maintain than my previous uprights. I think this vacuum is a good value and efficient performer. I have two, short-haired tabby cats.

Don't have a pet, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have a lot of pet hair. It's suction power is not nearly that of a full size vac.

Yes, it picks up cat hair very well (I have 2 long hair cats). The only down side is that I have to clean out the brush and the vacuum cup often. I think it's worth it because it makes easy work of doing fast daily clean-ups.

Quite well in my opinion, tho I use it so much less for that. I use it predominantly for removal of animal hair. Even hair sort of "stuck" in certain fleecy fabric, it comes out easily. I am quite dependent on it. And if I am wrong your investment has not been too bad, after all. I have given lots of these as gifts for folks with pets.

I have two german shepherds and a cat, they are one of the reasons I selected this vacuum. It does an excellent job with pet hair.

I have two kitty-cats and the vacuum has worked very well, so far, in picking up their hair from oriental rugs in the living/dining rooms, and from the carpets throughout the house. I haven't tried it out on the stairs, since I use my hand-held Dirt Devil for that chore. As you might guess, sometimes I have to cover an area densely covered with hair 2 or 3 times before all of the debris is lifted; but this would be true for any standard vacuum, I'm sure. I give this particular vacuum high ratings, not only for its ability to clean up pet hair, but for the ease in which it removes the offending dander & hair.

For us this one worked pretty good for pet hair. We have a black terrier who leaves a lot of hair on our beige carpet. We can definitely notice a big difference going over it with our DC23

Not sure. WE have a dog with really short hair and it does pick it up pretty good. I like it because with the children it gets crumbs and small pieces of paper ect up really good. Hope that helps.

I don't have pets, but i sure have enough of my own hair that i shed :((I would say YES this small little vac will do the job of pet hairs. it is a strong suction.. hope this helps.

It catches pretty good from pets hair to dust. Howevere, it cannot sweep out everything.

Yes. With multiple cats and dogs being able to handle pet hair is a big issue for us. It does the job better than our carpet vacuum on its hard floor setting.

This vacuum is best on hard floors, and just ok on carpet. I use it on vinyl, wood and low pile floor carpets. It will do well with pet hair.

I can't say for certain, but it's great at picking up short, resilient dog hair embedded in to black auto upholstery.
